Referring now more particularly to the drawings, the plow includes a main frame comprising a main beam 10 arranged at an angle to the line of draft, as indicated by the arrow of Figure 1. This main beam is of approximately the same length as the disk gang, generally indicated at 11, which is to be employed with the machine and has at its rear or trailing end an angular extension M12 which approximatel parallels the line of draft and is rearwar ly directed. To the opposite end of the main frame beam 10 is secured a bracket 13 which includes an angular portion 14 which likewise extends approximately parallel to the line of draft and is forwardly directed. To the approximate center of the main frame beam 10 is secured the rear end of a forwardly directed brace 15, the forward end of which is approximately horizontally aligned with the forward end of the forwardly directed portion 14 of the bracket 13. Between the forward ends of a transversely extending draft bar 16 to which is connected the necessary draft elements 17 for attaching the plow to a tractor.

Immediately rearwardly ofthe draft beam 16, the brace and extension 14 have secured thereto the angular end'portions 18 of a transverse brace bar 19. The bolts employed for connecting the brace bar 19 to the forward end. of the brace 15 likewise serve as a means for securing to the brace bar and brace the forward end of a further or side brace 20, the rear. end of which has an angular ortion lying flatly against and secured to t e an ularextension 1 2 of the main beam 10. ecured-to the transverse brace 19 immediatel adjacent that end thereof connected to t e brace 15 is the forward end of a brace 21, the rear end of which is secured to the beam 10 adjacent the forward end thereof. The braces 21, 15 and 20 provide a truss structure rigidifymg the main frame beam combine with one another to 10 and resisting all tendency ofthis frame beam to twist under the strain against by the disk gang 11. A further brace 22 paralleling the brace 15 and secured at its forward end to the angular side brace 20 at its rear end to the main frame beam further assists in stiffening the main frame beam. The bracket 13 provides a mounting for an adjustable whee lift 23, while from the braces 15 and 20 are supported hangers 24 and 25 for a second adjustable wheel lift approximately transversely aligning with the middle of the gang. The angular end portibn 12 of the main frame beam provides afimounting for a third adjustable wheel li 26.

. Secured to and extending rearwardly and slightly downwardly from the rear face of the main beam 10 at longitudinally spaced oints are bearing arms 27 Eachof these caring arms is formed at its rear endwith one-half 28 of a bearing, the opposite half 29 of which is made in the form of a removable bearing cap abutting theupper surface of the arm and which accordingly bears the strain of upward thrust of the disk gang. Thus, in makin replacements necessitated by wear, the rep acement of the bearing cap 29 is all that is necessary, there being practically no wear upon the bearing section 28 of the arm 27. Directed through the beariilgs is a square shaft 30 upon which is mounted a series of disks 31, each having an opening 32 fitting the shaft. Between adjacent disks 31, with the exception of those between which are disposed bearings for the shaft 30, are arranged spools or spacers 33, each having a bore fitting the shaft 30 and each having at one end a convex face 34 to engage and fit against the concave face of a disk and at its opposite end a concave face 35 for engagement against the convex face of a seconddisk. Where bearin s are inserted between adjacent disks, the disk Whose concave face opposes the bearing has arranged thereagainst a washer 36 having a dust flange 37 at one side face for engagement with the bearing and having its opposite face shaped to conform to the shaping of the disk face. These washers have the openings 38 thereof squared so that they fit the shaft 30 and rotate therewith. v

The disk, whose convex face op used the bearing is abutted by a washerire flange 39 formed upon the end of a sleeve 40 retatabl fitting the bearing and extending entirel y therethrough for engagement with the washer 38. The bore of this sleeve fits the shaft 30 and the flange thereofhas a dust rim 41 for engagement'with the bear-' 42 which retainsthe ing. One of the bolts placed therecap 29 in positionis employed as a means for mounting upon the upper surfaces of the bearing additional dust guards 43. Abut-- tin the outer or convex face of the disk 31 att e trailing end of the shaft is a bearing head 44 which is threaded upon the threaded end 45 of the squared shaft 30. This head fits within the bore 46 of a thrust member 47 which is adjustable, as by means of bolts 48, through an opening 49 formed in a heavy rigid bracket 50 secured to and depending slightly from the angular extension 12 of the rear end of the main frame beam 10.

Attention is directed to the fact that the angle of the arms 27 is so slight that the shaft 30 and its associated parts lies practically directly in the rear of the main frame beam 10, as differentiated from those structures where the disk gangs are disposed beneath the main frame beam. This results in the material reduction of the tendency to twisting strains applied by the disk gang to the main frame beam and such twisting strains as are applied are removed by the truss structure formed by the braces '15, 21 and 20, as hereinbefore described. -In operation, the wheel of the wheel lift 23 operates in the furrow of the last out while the wheel of the wheel lift 26 operates in the furrow of the newly formed cut. These wheels are suitably inclined toresist the tendency to side draft and this-tendency is further reduced by the land wheel of the wheel lift 25. Due to the fact that each 'of the disks is rigid to the shaft and the en.-

tire structure revolves as a whole, there is no tendency whatever of these disks to lag, due to contract with an obstruction. Where the ordinary plow disk can be checked in its rotation during operation b grasping the same with the hand, it has een found impossible to check rotation of the disks of. a

ang of this construction while in opera- 7 tion by the use of pry forcibly engaged with ,plow of the construction about to be clogged.

one of the disks.

The advantage in the reduction of the amount of draft necessary provided by .this rolling construction is.very considerab e, being approximately one-half in structures of the same size, sothat a farmer owning a tractor capable of pulling a five foot disk plow of the ordinary construction can use the same tractor in pulling a ten foot disk hereinbefore referred to. Since the disks, like are firmly clam ed to one another between a nut 51 an washer 52, mounted upon the opposite end of the shaft 30 from the head 44, any tendency to independent rotation on the part of the disks is prevented and proper rotation is assured. The purpose of this interlocking of theseveral disks is group .of disks, should clogged by trash or other materials tending to prevent their rotation, the benefit of the torque or rotative movement of all the other disks so as to overcome the obstruction of the particular disk or grou of disks then In this way clogging it or they become to give any disk, or any of'any of the disks or any group of disks is entirely avoided. This results in the making of the seed bed more perfect and more of time and the physical labor incident to uniform; and also saves the operator theloss getting down from his machine and endeavoring to remove the obstructing accumulation. At the same time, an integral structure is provided which may be readily adjusted with the adjustable thrust bearing 47 to compensate for any wear which might occur. This wear is, owever, extremely unlikely to occur, due to the fact that the shaft rotates .very slowly and, of course, at the center portion of t e sliding head, there is practically no motion which wouldhave a tendency to wear. To decrease any tendency to wear, grease i forced between a steelsthrust plate 54 and the adjacent face of the head 44 by a suitable grease cup 55 carried by the bearing 47. This hearing 47 is in line with and carries practically all side thrust of the shaft, so that the strain which must be borne by the arms is substantially reduced to that strain necessar to resist elevation of the disks. Due to t e rigid tain thesame at the desired cutting level.

spacers and the structure except as hereinafter claimed.

Since the construction hereinbefore set forth is obviously ca able of a certain range of change and modification without materially departing from the spirit of the invention, I do not limit myself to such specific 1 00 Referring again to the 3-point adjustable supports for my frame, I call attention to the value and utility of ,these features, For instance, by manipulating the lever A I can adjust relatively to the ground the forward right-hand corner of the machine. When the first trip across a field is to be made this adj ustment will be such as to properly position the frame with the furrow wheel A riding on the surface, while thereafter the adjustment will have relation to the wheel A travelling in a furrow. Once this corner of the machine is adjusted properly with respect to the surface, I likewise adjust the rear left-hand corner by manipulating the lever H5 B. which through the connections shown in Fig. 5 will enable .the user to properly place this position of the machine with respect to the ground.

. Thus by,the proper manipulation of the 1:0 levers A and B the forward and rear ends,

the one at the right and the other at the left position, and with their location press into the soil, I manipulate the lever C to lower the frame with respect to the .th and thus give the disks to supporting wheel C, their final adjusted position. When the frame is lowered or raised through the lever C and its connections it turns on the centers of the wheels A and B slightly, with a general lowering effect or general lifting effect, as may be desired in giving the disks their final working osition.

It will further e observed that the 3- point supports and the adjustments just described cooperate not only with the disks in their relation to the ground, but cooperate also with the position of the disks with respect to the line of draft, with their angular in part at points forward of the axis of the wheel C and in part rearward of that axis. So that this angular position of the disks with respect to the line of draft is made to work in with the 3-point adjustable supports.

Referring to Fig. 5 it will be seen that the lever A is fulcrumed at a, to a standard 6, carried by the frame, and is pivoted at c. to a collar on the shaft d, which latter is slidably mounted in a fixed sleeve e, also carried by the main frame. The rack f, supported by said collar, is adapted to hold the lever in any adjusted position. By raising upward on the free end of the lever the adjacent part of the frame will be lowered on the wheel spindle (Land thereby result in bringing the wheel and frame nearer together; or in other words, the frame will be de ressed with reference to the wheel and will tlius be lower.

A reverse or lever will produce the reverse effect and lift the frame from the ground.

Referring to Fig. 6 the-lever C, it will be seen, is connected to the crank portion 9, of the wheel spindle h b a casting a. This connection is rigid. T erefore when the lever C is moved forwardly or rearwardly it will cause the spindle crank to partial] rotate and thus lower or raise the frame wit respect to the ground. A. toothed rack j secured to the frame, is adapted to hold the lever C in any adjusted position.

The detail constructions here described are the ones I have employed, but it will be understood that variations from these forms of construction may be used.

I would further observe that while I fer to make the disk shaft 30 of a continuous piece, yet that is not indispensible since the complete shaft might be otherwise made than of one continuous piece. It is the an gular position of this shaft and its disks to the line of draft which causes such severe side thrust to the shaft as to require the side thrust hearing before referred to. And by utilizin but one thrust bearing for the whole shaft I am enabled to eliminate costs downward movement of the H prc- 1 which would be incurred were oneor more of e supporting bearings for this shaft made act to resist side thrust as well. \Vhile for convenience and clearness I have referred, in the specification, and will referin the claims, to the wheel A being on the right-hand side and the wheel'B' at the left side, as also the wheel C being at the left, which I have done because the machine illustrated is what is known as a right-hand machine, nevertheless my mechanism is equally adapted to making a left-hand machine, in which casewheel A would be at the left, wheel B at the rear right and the wheel C also at the right. It will therefore be understood that these terms right and left are convertible according to whether the machine is a right-hand machine or a left-hand machine. Referring to the performance of my plow and particularly its disk functions, it may be assumed that the disks are say fifteen inchesin diameter and that the gang of disks in the plow will be set to enter the soil a depth of say three inches andbe positioned at an angle of, say, 37 degrees to the line of draft.

It will be observed that as the machlne moves forward each disk cultivates a certain zone or strip and that the succeeding disk overlaps the next disk ahead, and so on from disk to disk, so that the combined effect of all the disks is that of cultivating the entire swath made by the whole gang of disks, say tcn'fect in a machine having twenty disks,

the vertical-or perpendicular position of the disks preventing any undercutting and lifting of the soil in clods, lumps or strips. ere is a peculiar feature or action by the disks obtained by their positions brought about by the angle of their axes to the line of draft and by their vertical or perpendicular position.

As the machine goes back and forth across the'field it thus produces the seed bed in progressive or adjoinin swaths, the soil in each being pulverized, the disks overlapping and the vertical or perpendicular position of the disks avoiding the dig -ing-in action with the resulting objectiona le lumps or clods. In this way a fine seed bed is made so that when the seeds are planted at a depth of say one to one and a half inches, the roots will find a homogeneous bed through which to project themselves and from which to raw plant food. This improved seed bed compared with the old kind of non-homogeneous bed has produced in the wheat country, where I live and farm, crops 15 per cent and upward greater in yield in the same neighborhood and under like climatic and soil conditions.

In non-homogeneous or chasmed seed beds, ail-spaces, pockets or chasms prevent the proper growth of seeds. It is a law of nature that wheat roots will not project themoverlapping relative,
